M-Mouse's Droppings

[m-mouse]

I did make a rhubarb crumble a couple of times with oatbran and that was nice. To be honest I don't REALLY want it any more I don't think - long may it continue!!

I have kind of fallen into my monotonous way of eating chicken and
fish and not a lot else

Have a good weekend all.

Mouse - typical. You get ME addicted to your Goji cake (I still announce to OH that I'm off to make a "Mouse Cake") and then turn to chicken and fish yourself (Are you sure you're not slipping in and out of ketosis?)

 

[robinhood]

Oh gojis. They are tolerated now, so not had them for ages. Or maybe they are no longer tolerated and we can have them?

Manda, I have highs and lows of being creative. This week has been a low week of chicken, fish and eggs. I need to get cooking again!

Vicky, photo?

That's just sadistic! You must be a VERY strong person! How did you cope? Hope you enjoyed it though

It was good thanks and I told myself I could ignore the chocolate fountain too! However the thing started with a bit of a talk and the chap passed around a box of swiss buttons for everyone to try and I didn't want to draw attention to myself and had one - so then decided that together with a couple of trips to the choc fountain, that would be my gala instead of the roast today!!

 

[wheesht]

Oooo well done! Incredible restraint! If it was me they would still be trying to fish me out of the chocolate fountain.

What did you learn to make? (Far more interest being shown in your chocolate day than is healthy)

 

[m-mouse]

Well we tried the Swiss buttons that are in the fountain and he told us not to eat cadburys because they take the cocoa butter out of their chocolate and dd hydrogenated fat instead. G & Blacks (still owned by cadburys) was in his opinion better chocolate. Then we made a ganache filling with cream and melted chocolate and piped it into sausages. These we cut up and shaped for the middle of our truffles. Then we had to sort of massage them in melted chocolate and then dipped them in icing sugar, cocoa or biscuit crumbs. Packed them into bags and brought them home.

They look gorgeous - very professional! You could give thorrntons a run for their money!


Bet they taste better than thornton's chocs though. Am always disappointed with them. Over hyped. Interesting about cadburys though.

 

[scrumper]

[m-mouse]

- best make the most of it while you can though - bet it's not the same in Aus!

I disagree. (Don't ask me how I know!)

 

[robinhood]

We can get Cadbury's chocolate here now, also saw some Crunchie biscuits advertised (not keen on biscuits though and didn't enjoy the last crunchie I ate).

Nice chocs, Manda. Glad you enjoyed the course.

Enough food porn for today.

 

[m-mouse]

Yes enough!! I think my period of Dukan has made me better able to stop and say 'enough'. I can have a little of what I fancy occasionally on conso but stop afterwards!
